Just stumbled across this suitcase MP5, apparently the trigger in the handle can fire the weapon (you can see the barrel on the left.) Kinda nifty. http://im.rediff.com/news/2014/aug/06gun1.jpg View Quote Been around for 30 years. Here, you can buy one if you really want one: http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=532018934 |

Quoted: The suitcase is a registered AOW. The gun inside is also registered, but as an MG. If you were to build one large enough to contain a suppressed MP-5, it would be one of the only ways to get a 3 stamp gun. View Quote If you count the suppressor stamp as being part of the gun then 3 stamp guns are pretty common. SBR'd MGs with suppressors are fairly common in the MG world |

If you count the suppressor stamp as being part of the gun then 3 stamp guns are pretty common. SBR'd MGs with suppressors are fairly common in the MG world MG's are not considered SBR's, regardless of barrel length. An MG with a 1" barrel would only have one tax stamp and the transfer tax is only $200, the same as it would if the barrel was 16" or 16' in length. An MG with an integral suppressor would have two stamps, and a total of $400 in taxes would be paid for each transfer. ETA: Here is the definition of a machinegun, taken directly from the Code of Federal Regulations: Machine gun. Any weapon which shoots, is designed to shoot, or can be readily restored to shoot, automatically more than one shot, without manual reloading, by a single function of the trigger. The term shall also include the frame or receiver of any such weapon, any part designed and intended solely and exclusively, or combination of parts designed and intended, for use in converting a weapon into a machine gun, and any combination of parts from which a machine gun can be assembled if such parts are in the possession or under the control of a person. You'll notice that it defines a machine gun as "Any weapon..." and that there is no mention of barrel length in the definition. That's because regardless of a barrel length, a machine gun is a machine gun. Barrel length is irrelevant. Therefore, there is no need to differentiate between a Machine gun and a short-barreled machine gun. Not to mention, an SBR is a short-barreled rifle, and a rifle, by definition, is not a machinegun. There is no such thing as a SBMG within the NFA. |

IIRC, that was a Secret Service set up back in the 80's Uzi http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/6889/reaganuzi02.jpg Brag thread. I used to work with the guy holding the Uzi. He was the head of Security where I work. Talked with him many times. Not too much about the incident. Years ago I was at wall mart with my Father. We ran into Bob. I told my Dad that you HAVE to meet someone. After the introduction, we got home, and I asked my Dad if he would like to see who he just met. Then I pulled up this picture. Bob is a really cool guy, and now when he is in town. We attend the same church. I have asked him if I can get a picture with him and his autograph. (I want him to sign my Uzi top-cover) One of these days I will post pictures. (after they are taken that is.) |

What is the purpose of the HK briefcase?
I can understand a nefarious organization creating such a device, but I would think that even back in the 80's HK would have been fully aware of the importance of aimed fire. I can't see that being useful for anything other than terrorism/assassinations or suppressing fire, which seems to me to be inappropriate for all but the most extreme PSD situations. Regardless, it is pretty neat. |
